Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has addressed the recent power supply disruptions across Ghana.
In his message to Ghanaians who have called for a load-shedding timetable due to the erratic power supply, he noted that such people are wishing doom for the country.
According to him, there is no need for a timetable especially when the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has said otherwise.
“Let those who want the timetable bring it. What do you mean? I don’t know of any timetable because the ECG has said it is not necessary. Why would someone just wish evil for the country?” he asked.
In recent weeks, various areas have experienced interruptions in electricity supply, leading to dissatisfaction among citizens with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
The ECG has refused to describe the power outage as “dumsor”. It has attributed the outage to maintenance issues.
But the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) among other directives, has ordered the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to submit a comprehensive load management timetable by April 2, in response to recent power supply disruptions.
